Usage examples of "importable".

So both attonce him charge on either side,With hideous strokes, and importable powre,That forced him his ground to trauerse wide,And wisely watch to ward that deadly stowre:For in his shield, as thicke as stormie showre,Their strokes did raine, yet did he neuer quaile,Ne backward shrinke, but as a stedfast towre,Whom foe with double battry doth assaile,Them on her bulwarke beares, and bids them nought auaile.

God for his manace hym so soore smoot With invisible wounde, ay incurable, That in hise guttes carf it so and boot That hise peynes weren importable.
